How to redirect facebook apps to an external URL? (3 posts)

Topic tags: 3rd Party, App, Redirect
  • Hey all! hope your doing great this fine day! I’m playing around with my facebook apps on the fan page today and I’m trying to redirect one of them to an external url (the co.’s webpage in this case), I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this? I cant seem to find any helpful tutorials. Thanks! 

  • @kimberlyjimenez  I don’t believe you can do that, but I may be wrong. 

    What I did was embed my website into an App.  My site works great and all the site links work, while keeping the user in the facebook platform. 

    I used an App from Lujure to do this.  I hope that helps.

  • Are you trying to do a complete redirect, @kimberlyjimenez?  Like if you click on the App cover image and it takes you somewhere else immediately?  If so, there is no way to do this that I know of (I’m 95% sure but there could be some rogue App developer out there who has figured out a way)  

    But you can have an image on the other side of the app that people click on to then do a redirect.  In that case there are lots of apps that might work for that.  Many iFrame apps have a picture upload and you can make it clickable or do it in HTML where you have a <a href> command.  Hope that helps some – let me know if I wasn’t clear what you wanted to do!
